Luckily, concrete floors with these finishes are resistant to stains and don\u2019t require any regular maintenance besides sweeping and mopping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For colorful liquid spills (e.g., wine, juice, food dye, pet stains, etc.), it is imperative that you wipe them up promptly. Scrub the spot with soapy water and a rag to make sure there is no leftover residue. If an unnoticed spill is left overnight, it can penetrate the seal, stain, or polish and will only be removable with professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sealed floors should also be re-sealed every few years to maintain their stain-resistant benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exterior concrete floors with no polish, stain, or seal are going to be the most susceptible to stains. This plain kind of concrete is porous, so liquids will seep through quickly. For this reason, you should consider upgrading your driveway, garage floor, patio, or sidewalk to ensure they do not easily look dirty. Whether you choose to stain, stamp, or seal your concrete, Speck USA is who you need to call. Click here to see all the ways we can turn your residential concrete from shabby to chic.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to stick with unstained, unsealed, unpolished concrete floors outside, regular power washing is recommended to maintain a clean look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few DIY solutions you can try to get stains out of bare concrete, depending on what kind of stain it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You should use a stiff nylon brush to scrub bare concrete for all of these remedies. Metal brush bristles can break off into the porous surface and cause additional damage over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can\u2019t manage to make your floors look perfectly clean on your own, there\u2019s no shame in calling for backup.
